Psychology of Nations
Leaders, Militaries, and Peoples
Evaluating dictatorial regimes, terrorism, social sects, and key individuals within nations requires a specialty that addresses the psychology behind war crimes, its victims, and challenges peoples face in achieving civil society. ABS welcomes Dr. Katya Egorova, Political Psychologist specializing in political psychological analysis of nations, their government leaders, militaristic behaviors, community sects, and key individuals through the “Psychological Code of the Nation”. These analytical models provide measurable variables and numerical scales to capture the behavioral manifestation of dynamics between leaders, their militaries, their peoples, and psychosocial environmental conditions, which determines national stability and predicts future behaviors.
ABS Community Research, Inc was established the week after 9/11, at which time ABS embraced a 10-year plan to adopt organizational efforts in justice, health, and interdisciplinary partnerships to the cause of anti-terrorism. Through ABS long-standing collaboration with a US-affiliated local violence reduction program inside Iran, their program methodologies and philosophies clinically exhibited that Middle Eastern peoples seek nonviolent paths to peace, while their regimes and militants maintain grossly differing goals.
Through supporting Iranian dissidents since the June 2009 uprisings in Iran, psychological comprehension of the peoples has become a cause of advocacy. The Iranian people and their secular democratic compatriots across the region risk their lives to unite between opposition groups, reach the west through media and social media, independent communications with policy makers, and seek to be understood by western institutions. Lifestyles in war-torn environments are not without societal conflict and cultural tensions, but are compounded by regime imposed restrictions over communications and organizing. The greater opportunity the west has to understand the psychology of nations, the greater opportunity that the peoples human rights can be protected.
